“Hola!” Pope Leo XIV!

It’s with relief that I saw that the white smoke didn’t take long to come out into St Peter’s sky when the new Pope was elected, and that he didn’t sound particularly conservative as he said he was going to be continuing his predecessor’s efforts in seeking peace and social justice.

 

Being American, but speaking perfect Italian and even better Spanish, he stands as the antidote to Trump and his sycophants. This is the right direction for the new head of the Catholic Church and the entire world. 

Will he do everything he said, particularly in his quest for peace? Well, time will tell, it might not be that easy, and I would want to keep a lid on my expectations, but in the meantime is choice is felt as a relief from the American chaos...
